Product Description
Product Description
Psychiatry is increasingly dominated by the reductionist claim that mental illness is caused by neurobiological abnormalities such as chemical imbalances in the brain. Critical psychiatry does not believe that this is the whole story and proposes a more ethical foundation for practice. This book describes an original framework for renewing mental health services in alliance with people with mental health problems. It is an advance over the polarization created by the 'anti-psychiatry' of the past.
About the Author
D.B. DOUBLE is Consultant Psychiatrist and Honorary Senior Lecturer, Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and University of East Anglia, UK. He is a founding member and website editor of the Critical Psychiatry Network (www.criticalpsychiatry.co.uk).
